How to set in game texture resolution to 8K?

Development Rendering

ive found this documentation but i still dont understand it:

[QUOTE]Unreal Engine 4 defaults to limiting the maximum number of texture mips to 13, which effectively limits the largest rendered texture to 4096 (1x1 to 4096x4096 is 13 mips). This has the side-effect that imported 8192 textures will only render up to mip1 of 4096. The constant MAX_TEXTURE_MIP_COUNT which defaults to 13 in the engine source files can be modified to a value of 14 to support 8192 texture rendering. This constant is defined in the following source files (as of QAMar09, be sure to verify on other QA versions).

Src\D3D10Drv\Src\D3D10Device.cpp
Src\Engine\Inc\RHI.h
Src\Engine\Inc\UnTex.h
Src\Engine\Src\RHI.cpp
Src\Engine\Src\TextureCube.cpp[/QUOTE]

these source paths, i cant find them. theres nothing simmilar to that in the program files UE4 folder. i cant even find the first D3D10Device.cpp file for example. even if i could, then what. how to set it to 14? add _14? or =14? how can i know this? the documentation is incomplete.

can someone please help me?
thanks

Add these lines in [your_game]\Config\DefaultEngine.ini and change the value of MaxLODSize=4096 to MaxLODSize=8192 for the TextureGroup you want.

[SystemSettings]
TEXTUREGROUP_World=(MinLODSize=1,MaxLODSize=4096,LODBias=0,MinMagFilter=aniso,MipFilter=point)

It does nothing actually.

Hello, I’ve tried that as well as mentioned in the docs:

But unfortunately nothing happens when I reload the editor. It is still displayed for each texture in those texture groups:
Imported: 8192x8192
Displayed: 4096x4096
Max In-Game: 4096x4096

I’m using Unreal 4.13.2

Is it still possible to enable 8k textures through the DefaultEngine.ini ?
If so, how ?!

Thanks.

Ok, the correct answer is:
